This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 February 2023.
All research outputs
#8,425,986
of 25,165,154 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#12,193
of 33,990 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#152,464
of 433,061 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#291
of 1,879 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,165,154 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 33,990 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 433,061 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,879 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
